Hon, you CAN do it!!! I quit Oct. 1, 1985. <br />1-I had planned for it and THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS A NON SMOKER for months while I "eased down" on lower tar and nicotine cigarettes.<br />2-I switched from Hot tea (that I would have my cigarette with) to HOT SPICED CIDER: a different taste and did not "remind" me of smoking. <br />3-I told my friends that I was GOING TO quit and when I quit; I looked to them for support as well. I switched some habits that supported MY NEW NONSMOKER status.<br />4-I rewarded myself IN OTHER WAYS for becoming a NON smoker. <br /><br />You CAN do it. I did it and it may seem odd, strange or even difficult...at first. IT WILL get better and easier and YOU will be MUCH HAPPIER and HEALTHIER for it!!!<br /><br />CONGRATS by the way; high five and HUGS to you!!!!
